Appearance

• Clothing: Wears pink at her introduction and pale yellow gowns in later appearances 7 23 71.
• Voice: Sweet and girlish, repeatedly compared to an oriole’s song 7 17.

Personality

Susu has been indulged since birth and treats others’ attention and protection as natural obligations. During preparations for the Heroes’ Conference, the sect accepts her safety as a higher priority than its own competitive success. She later insists that her father’s position exempts her from Bai Yuqing’s restrictions on entering Thirteenth Peak 17 23 70.

She is particularly drawn to people who remain aloof. Bai Yuqing’s indifference strengthens her determination to win him over, while Xie Jun becomes only the second person she approaches voluntarily. Following her father’s assertion that every man likes her, she interprets coldness as concealed affection and jealousy as proof of love 7 10 71.

Her tearful, innocent manner coexists with increasingly self-centered behavior. She initially defends Xie Jun against Zhao Guangyi, but afterward asks the injured Xiao Qinghe to save Zhao from punishment. She also deliberately uses closeness with Xiao to provoke Xie Jun, treating the reaction as entertainment 7 9 10 11.

Susu is easily persuaded by explanations that affirm her desirability. Xiao’s fabricated accounts convince her that Bai Yuqing secretly loves her and that Xie Jun’s apparent indifference was actually a strategy to protect her. When their affection instead centers on Xiao, she accuses him of taking people who should have belonged to her 10 18 130.

Background / History

Privileged upbringing and meeting Xie Jun

As Ouyang Chong’s cherished daughter, Susu grows up surrounded by admirers. Xiao Qinghe recognizes her as the heroine of Every Handsome Man Spoils Me and understands that his assigned role is to act as one of her devoted followers 7.

Upon meeting Xie Jun at the well, Susu offers to help draw water and repeatedly invites her to spend time together. Zhao Guangyi’s jealousy escalates into violence despite Susu’s objections. Rather than Susu saving Xie Jun as the original plot intended, Xiao intervenes and is stabbed 7.

During Xiao’s recovery, Susu discovers that approaching him provokes Xie Jun. A system-generated red dudou bearing the character “Su” then falls from his robes. Susu assumes he stole it, prompting Xiao to invent a story that Bai Yuqing owns it because he secretly loves her. She immediately begins asking about the master’s preferences 9 10 11.

Abduction at Black Water Lake

An octopus demon abducts Susu to retaliate against Ouyang Chong, who previously imprisoned him. The demon drains her vital energy while she unsuccessfully tries to deny being Ouyang Chong’s daughter 11 12.

Xie Jun arrives but prioritizes freeing Xiao over answering Susu’s pleas. Her eventual attack releases both captives, and Susu faints 12.

Afterward, Susu resents Xie Jun’s failure to prioritize her. Xiao repairs the relationship temporarily by claiming that Xie Jun only pretended not to care to keep her safe. Susu accepts this explanation and concludes that Xie Jun loves her, while telling Xiao that she likes him only as a brother 17 18.

Heroes’ Conference and travel

The Heroes’ Conference is Susu’s first official competition. Ouyang Chong orders more than a hundred disciples to place her protection above winning. Before departure, Xie Jun redirects Susu toward Bai Yuqing by suggesting that his attendance is connected to her participation, leaving Xiao and Xie Jun alone in their carriage 23.

Following the conference’s demonic attack, Susu complains that Bai Yuqing rescued Xiao rather than her. He dismisses her from the room and later shuts her out when Xiao’s Ghost King Spirit Pill begins acting up 39 40.

Xiao subsequently persuades Susu to accompany the exiled Xie Jun on a training journey. He presents stronger cultivation as a way to gain Bai Yuqing’s interest, while privately hoping to restore the original romance. Xie Jun later complains about the trouble Susu has caused her 42 43.

Mo Yan and the soul swap

Susu returns with several handsome guests, including Mo Yan. A dream he has shown her reinforces her conviction that Bai Yuqing is supposed to love her 70 71.

After learning that Bai Yuqing accepts only Xiao’s homemade pastries and wine, she takes a jar from Xiao’s courtyard without permission. Mo Yan encourages her to use wine to draw out the master’s feelings and supplies a substance he claims has no side effects. The tampered wine becomes implicated in Xiao and Bai Yuqing’s soul swap 71 72 75 94.

Susu initially denies tampering with it, then tells her father that Mo Yan concealed the medicine’s side effects. While Bai Yuqing is unconscious, she becomes angry at his calls for Xiao and shakes him hard enough to reopen his chest wound. Xiao and Xie Jun order her to leave 75 94.

Dream Realm

The later Dream Realm recreates events from the original novel; its engagement and injuries are distinct from Susu’s waking-world storyline 95 108 130.

Event	Susu’s involvement
Engagement celebration	Engaged to Xie Jun, Susu denies encouraging Xiao’s romantic hopes and justifies the crowd’s beating of him as punishment for demonic cultivation 95.
Public pursuit of Bai Yuqing	She asks Bai to leave with her during the celebration, creating a scandal before the assembled sects 96.
Broken engagement	By the Qixi outing, Xie Jun explicitly states that Susu has broken off their engagement and refuses to let her join the carriage 108.
Loss of attention	Susu recognizes that Bai and Xie Jun’s affection for Xiao exceeds the special treatment she believed she received 110 111.
Ghost attack	Xiao fights to protect her when the inn’s barrier collapses. Her face is wounded and poisoned before the Ghost King fatally strikes him 114.
Visit after Xiao’s death	She brings peach blossoms but angrily insists that Xiao will not return. Bai expels her, and Xie Jun wounds her face after she insults him 116.

Confrontation after the Dream Realm

Susu insists that Bai Yuqing loved her in the Dream Realm. He rejects her account: his experience instead left him blaming her failure to act for Xiao’s death 130.

Unable to accept the changed relationships, Susu accuses Xiao of turning Bai, Xie Jun, and Mo Yan against her. She shakes him despite his injuries; he pushes her away, and Xie Jun carries him to bed. Aunt Hong rebukes Susu and slaps her after she claims Xiao stole the people who belonged to her. Susu flees, prompting Ouyang Chong to demand justice 130.

Abilities & Skills

Cultivation

• Participates officially in the Heroes’ Conference for the first time after her father permits it 23.
• Leaves the sect to gain experience with Xie Jun, hoping improved cultivation will attract Bai Yuqing’s attention 42.
• No named technique, cultivation realm, or completed breakthrough is documented in the supplied passages.

Heroine Halo

Susu’s narrative position brings exceptional favoritism, although its limits become increasingly apparent.

• Sect disciples collectively prioritize her safety over competition results 23.
• In the Dream Realm, Xiao experiences severe pain when speaking against her and loses control of his behavior around her. He suspects the Heavenly Dao protects its heroine; leaving her presence restores some freedom 96 100.
• The halo does not preserve Bai Yuqing’s or Xie Jun’s affection when their loyalties shift toward Xiao 110 116 130.

Relationships

• Ouyang Chong — Father and chief protector. He mobilizes disciples for her safety, excuses her conduct, and threatens his bond with Bai Yuqing after Aunt Hong slaps her 23 94 130.
• Xiao Qinghe — Her assigned admirer in the original plot. Susu relies on his indulgence and calls her affection for him sibling-like; he eventually rejects her demands and physically resists her mistreatment 7 18 94 130.
• Xie Jun — Intended romantic partner in the original novel. Susu mistakes Xie Jun’s jealousy over Xiao for love directed at herself. Their waking relationship grows strained; the Dream Realm includes an engagement that Susu later breaks 10 18 43 95 108.
• Bai Yuqing / Master Yu Qing — Persistent romantic pursuit. Xiao’s lie and Mo Yan’s dream reinforce Susu’s expectations, but Bai repeatedly rejects her and later holds her responsible for Xiao’s death in his Dream Realm 10 71 130.
• Zhao Guangyi — Devoted senior brother and admirer. His jealousy of her interest in Xie Jun sparks the confrontation that injures Xiao; Susu nevertheless pleads for him to be spared punishment 7 9.
• Mo Yan — Companion who encourages her pursuit of Bai and supplies the substance linked to the soul swap. By her later confrontation with Xiao, she believes even Mo Yan has shifted his attention away from her 70 71 75 94 130.
• Aunt Hong — Opposes Susu’s treatment of Xiao and slaps her during their confrontation 130.

Trivia

• Human-Faced Ghosts impersonate Susu during the Heroes’ Conference, and the Human-Faced Ghost King later uses her appearance in the Dream Realm. Their attacks are not actions committed by Susu herself 32 33 102.
• Zhao Susu is a separate character, not a confirmed alias or incarnation. Her appearance, pale yellow clothing, and perfume strongly resemble Ouyang Susu’s, causing Xiao to mistake her for his former junior sister 124.
• Xiao’s original counterpart plants a peach tree because Susu says she likes peach blossoms and people who give them to her. In the Dream Realm, she later discards his blossoms because they contain bugs 99 100.
